Michael Kolster, associate professor of art at Bowdoin, has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to support his photographic project “Take Me to the River,” a collection of unique glass plate photographs that depict American rivers as amalgams of human and natural forces. The award was announced today in The New York Times.

Very interested in Prof Kolster’s river project as I have been involved for 4 years with a small non-profit called The Center for Natural Capital. One of our flagship projects is called StreamSweepers ( http://www.streamsweepers.org ) in which we have assessed, sampled, and cleaned more than 100 miles of 2 Virginia rivers. See website above. Please pass our information on to Prof Kolster. Would love to chat about both projects if he is interested.
Thanks,
